It's a bit of a step to go from neurobiology to teaching, Mr. Zeitlan - anything in particular that's drawn you to it?

My studentship, as you can imagine, was a very long affair. I bolstered it with a semester as a TA before going into the research assistant program. Both had their challenges, but both were rewarding.
Really it's more that what I know about powers and what I can do--I think it's something that meshes strongly with what the Xavier Institute was founded on. Are you familiar with Dr. Charles Xavier?

[only so much, but. appearances.]

The Institute was founded to guide, as I've always understood it. Teaching falls right in line with that. Though I'm interested to learn how you view it - and how your powers fall in line with such.

My power lets me decipher the powers of others. I can guide them to use them better, even overcome their occasional failings or emotional blocks.
It's an adaption that the porter gave me based on the academic work I did at home; for instance I recently helped a young lady who had difficulty controlling her electricity based power to overcome a short circuit that... Well, let's just say she almost brought down a passenger jet before I was able to help her. She was grateful--it was like I'd given her her life back.
I'd like to be able to help people like that again.
